“Throughout the past 13 years, artists have come and gone and there are presently ten in the group. All the current members joined looking for studio space to escape the distractions of home, and to paint in the company of other artists in what is otherwise a very solitary activity, but have gained so much more. We bounce new ideas off each other, are introduced to new materials and methods, share stories, and find the combination incredibly motivating.”
ARTWRX STUDIO/ GALLERY SOCIETY
ARTWRX Studio/Gallery, formerly Art Alchemy Studio, is a shared studio space in downtown Courtenay where we support each other to promote growth and professionalism as artists. A visit to the ARTWRX Studio offers you an opportunity to view the work of 5 individual artists with very unique styles. The goal is that each artist has fun creating in an open, supportive environment. We encourage dialogue with visitors to share our art and to give them a glimpse of the creative process.
Our studio provides a place for interaction with other artists and the public. The space is centrally located with ample street parking, at no cost. We are blessed with high ceilings, big windows and amazing light, which makes the climb up the stairs to our second level location, well worth the effort.
Many of our artists have affordable small original works, prints, cards and gift items to purchase directly from each artist. We welcome requests regarding commissions and invite enquiries regarding workshops.
ARTWRX Studio/Gallery is open by appointment every day, or anytime the door is open. Come on up and be inspired!
